<TITLE>17. Par 59-61</TITLE>L-59 Took Him up on the pinnacle of the temple, said, "Now, dash your foot down, just... or jump off of here, right there. It's written in the Scriptures. I'll give you Scripture for it."
Jesus said, "Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. Get away from me, Satan." Is that right? He never clowned for Satan. He only did the Father's will.
Now, look. He didn't claim to be a healer, did He? He said, "I can do nothing in Myself." When He passed all them crippled people and so forth, never healed a one of them, He healed a man had a disease, something like prostate or something like that; he'd had it for a long time. He said, "Will thou be made whole?" Never healed any of the crippled. And the Jews questioned Him. He said, "Verily, verily, I say unto you. The Son can do nothing in Himself, but what He sees the Father doing." Is that right? "The Father shows Me what to do and I go do it."
Now, if He's the same yesterday, today, and forever, died, rose from the dead, He said, "The things that I do, shall you do also." Is that right? That's a promise.

L-60 Of course, you know I'm doing something. Certainly. I'm bringing myself down from the anointing of preaching down into this (See?), for the healing (See?), getting back to... settle the audience. Be reverent.
Now, He didn't claim to be a healer, but He saw visions of what the... Jesus said, "I do nothing." That means He didn't do one thing without God first showing Him. Now, if you want to read that, you turn to Saint John 5:19 and see if that's right. See? "Verily, verily, I say unto you, the Son can do nothing in Himself, but what He sees the Father doing. (See?) That doeth the Son likewise." He never taken credit; He give it to God. See? No human flesh can glory in the sight of God. So He said that He done what the Father showed Him. He knowed where a fish was, had a coin in his mouth.
Paul standing, preaching one time, and seen a man that was crippled, or something wrong with him, laying in a stretcher, or cot, or something or other, said, "I perceive that you have faith to be healed. Stand up on your feet. Jesus Christ makes you whole." And he jumped up. That's the Gospel.

L-61 Now, if Jesus will return here tonight and do the things that He did when He was here on earth, do the same manifestations... He called the woman at the well and said, "Bring Me a drink."
She said, "The pump... The well's deep here."
He talked to her a little bit and He said--went right straight to her trouble, said, "Go, get your husband."
She said, "I don't have any husband."
Said, "That's right. You've got five."
Why, she run into the city and said, "Come, see a Man Who told me everything I ever done." Why, He didn't do that. He only told her one thing. But if God can show Him one thing, He could show Him all things.
So she said, "Isn't this the Christ?"
